Hotels with free parking in Takachiho

"The bed was the most comfortable I slept in so far. Room was large enough for a single person. They had free amenities in the lobby and the breakfast had a good Japanese spread. The only con is the elevator is super slow lol but at least they have one! Family mart underneath is super helpful. Would stay again and it's super close to the takachiho gorge! "

"I would giv"

"This place is a wonderful escape. It is very rural and rustic. The wonderful staff will accommodate your every need and the food is incredible. We had such a relaxing stay. Book a room with a private tub. You will not regret it."

"Great service. Food as part of the half boarding was good. Personalized care "

"Perfect stop for next morning's trip to Mt Aso."

"We are a party that booked 3 rooms at Kai Aso for 2 nights. Whilst the English speaking reception staff were always helpful, unfortunately one room, No 11, was totally inadequate & substandard. Room floor heating was not working both nights. Whilst the room temp showed 30C, it felt like 20 max 23C. It was very cold both nights, outside temp dropped to 0C both nights. For the first night the staff provided a heater and the second night another one was added. Third day morning, the heating for water supply did not work and staff thankfully managed to restore heating to the water supply. Second room 13, wash basins in the bathroom were clogged with very poor water drainage. Whilst the floor heating worked in 2nd room, the bathroom was also cold and not 30C as indicated, more likely 23C which is not comfortable. I lodged a strong complaint but all the manager in charge, Mr. Sayumi Ueda offered nothing except perfunctory words of apology and contrition. Hoshine group markets itself, many of their hotels/ryokans as 5 star properties, which I think includes Kai Aso, as we paid an expensive rate to stay. This was our third stay in the property and whilst the 1st two were good, the recent stay left a very unpleasant experience. High end international hotel chain will normally compensate in monetary form or credit for a future stay provided. Udea said NONE can be offered, so tarnishing Hoshino's reputation. Is their management aware of their managerial response? Be warned! "
